First Trad deer
« on: October 03, 2011, 10:19:00 PM »
I have been a bow hunter for over 30 years. I started with a recurve (I think before compounds came out) but I could not hit a thing. I missed many deer and when the compounds came out I moved on to them and never looked back. Last fall my cousin came up to Ohio for a Trad shoot close to me and brought a recurve for me to shoot and it was alot of fun ( I only lost one of his arrows). then he came up and hunted with me and brought the recurve and we shot all week. Well I bought a recurve to play with this year and the coumpound has set in the corner. I have been shooting in the yard and went to 3D shoots and thought maybe I could "get er done" on a deer this fall. I know there is a big difference between 3D and hunting! Well the season came in here in Ohio and I went out Saturday. Just me and the recurve. No sights, no release, no fall away rest, no range finder, just a recurve and me. It was so much fun not carrying and worry of all of the other stuff. Along came a doe about 25 yards broadside, perfect opportunity. I started thinking, can i do this? But then all of the practice took over, the bow came up as I drew, I hit anchor point, there was the spot and before I thought, the arrow was on the way. WOW what a rush! I have taken alot of nice deer with a bow, but this was really different. It was not all of the Tech stuff that harvested this one. It was only me and a little recurve.
I read on Tradbow last year of a first Trad kill by a hunter in Ga. and how a buddy had got him started. The buddy was Robhunter and he is my cousin and the one who also introduced me back to Trad. Thanks Robhunter. He said it was addictive and now I know.
I do not post much but spend alot of time on here reading the stories and the vast amount of information shared by all. I have learned so much on the site and appreciate your detication. It has already been a great year. I do not know if I can "get er done" when the big horns show up, but what ever it will be exciting.
God Bless

The quest to improve is so focused on a few design aspects & compensating for hunter ineptness as to actually have reduced a bow & arrow’s effectiveness. Nothing better demonstrates this than mech. BHs & speed fixated designs
